A Cross Between Lights

Found myself in Darkness,
Surrounded in its arms of bliss.
When did I get lost?
How did this happen and at what cost?

Two Lights break through and penetrate the Darkness’s hold.
One pale blue, the other a deep dark red,
Both comforting, holding their arms out to take me.
To which should I pick, and which do I need?

Both eagerly await me, hoping to confound me in their touch,
The voices of my dear loved ones tempt me to pick.
Lost in the sounds of them, I want to be left and have them kicked.
Surrounded in its arms of bliss, I am lost.

The sounds will not stop,
Still eager, still tempting me to pick.
When all I want is to be left alone in this bliss, I call home,
But all I do fail in the end and so another mistake, another miss.

Why must I pick and be forced to be in this comforting light?
Why must I pick between two I miss?
I am surrounded in its arms of bliss this night,
Not knowing what to do and not knowing if this is true bliss.

The sound of hate, temptation, the sound of sorrow fills me,
And yet, I still cannot see the truth and what ills me so.
To pick one is to leave the other behind,
To forget and never remember it ever, to leave it alone to die.

Still, I can’t decide, is this really the only choice I have?
Can’t I live with both, and live happy instead of this which is bad?
Still, the voices get stronger almost breaking my soul,
I am left to be here to pick between two things which I cannot.

I found myself truly lost in this Darkness I called home,
Surrounded by its arms of bliss, I am forever lost.
